Photography at The Christian Science Center
To kick off the 2023 summer Airbnb Experience season we were booked by a vibrant and uplifting woman named Stephanie. She is a content creator from Washington and each year she travels some where new with her father for Fathers Day weekend. This year it was to Boston. She booked us for her first session and wanted to stay close to her hotel so she could do a quick outfit change. Right by her hotel was the Christian Science Center which is located on Massachusetts/Huntington ave in the Fenway area of Boston.
When we arrived at the Christian Science Center Stephanie had already been there waiting for us, which was such a delicate as we love when our clients are on time. We greeted each other and the chemistry was great right off the bat and we could not wait to start shooting. Danielle has shot a quick mini shoot at this location before but it was quick and off season. We anticipated a great shoot as The Christian Science center is a beautiful location with many Boston Iconic views that scream “Hi I am in Boston” not to mention the reflecting pool right in the middle of the plaza. Which is exactly what Stephanie was looking for for her session.
However, once we started to pull out all of our camera equipment a security officer started walking towards us. This usually only means one thing LOL. The security guard at the Christian Science Center informed us that they do not allow professional photography on the Christian Science center grounds. Which was disappointing but we completely understood, especially because the security guard was kind and even recommended other cool shooting locations in the area and informed us that were able to shoot on the perimeter of the plaza.
We were fortunate enough to still have the opportunity to get shots of the beautiful fountain that was on plaza grounds behind Stephanie making for a lively scene. We were also lucky enough to have a very laid back client such as Stephanie. She was ready to shoot and experiment with different and unplanned locations. The photo session ended up being a total success. Thanks to her outgoing personality we were able to capture some candid moments. We explored and shot on some of the neighboring streets which offered a variety of stunning backdrops including a short walk to the Boston Public Library. Although we can not shoot at The Christian Science Center plaza we would definitely shoot in that area again.
